    Her casual observations on club life and love life tumble over each other with a light, mischievous touch that's refreshingly free of grating attitude.

    Together they make efficient, likeable, club-friendly pop, with the house numbers less memorable than her drum and bass leanings.

    Sadly beyond these two standouts ["Perfect Stranger" and "Katy On A Mission"], Brien's album swiftly degenerates into faceless Top Shop dance-pop filler. [Apr 2011, p.75]

It manages to translate the clubThis debut from Katy B is not just a collection of clubbangers or party music. It is far more than that.
